About

Calling all seekers, polytheists, pagans and witches! We cordially invite you to an evening of connection, devotion and crafting with the goddess of the crossroads.

“In the middle of our life’s journey, I found myself in a dark wood”

Whether your journey with Hekate is just beginning or you are a well-seasoned voyager, we all have moments where we are unsure of our next step. We may look to the stars for guidance, but it is us that must walk. We need strength. We need protection. And that, friends, is where we encounter Hekate.

But who is Hekate?

From time-honoured Titan to Queen of Witches, change is inevitable with Hekate’s torches lighting our paths. Many-named and many-formed, she is a complex goddess — undefinable yet renowned via hundreds of epithets. In this workshop we will honour Hekate as Apotropaios and Dadouchos: Averter of Evil and Torchbearer.

Together, we will craft individual necklace charms of protection and carve ritual candles using ingredients sacred to Hekate, blessing them at her altar. These items are designed to honour and maintain our connection with Hekate as we walk our individual trajectories, from dusk to dawn and back again.

In this workshop, we will:
🗝️ Worship in ways that honour ancient hellenic religion and modern revivalism
🗝️ Craft personalised protection charms and bless them at Hekate’s altar
🗝️ Carve and decorate a torch (candle) to take home
🗝️ Honour Hekate beyond the hallmarks of the dark goddess archetype
🗝️ Revel in not knowing the answers and walk forward with confidence

Please bring:
- A notebook and pen
- A water bottle

Optional devotional items:
- Personally sourced offerings
- Statues or other items to be blessed
- You are welcome to wear a veil or devotional accessories during ritual

Note:
Attendees must take care of their personal items and avoid bringing anything fragile.
